The digital platform was designed by COIMA and Mckinsey and is being implemented by COIMA Human Technologies together with Accenture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"leading-line-height-paragraph tracking-paragraph font-paragraph max-w-container-paragraph text-left text-paragraph-sm! md:text-paragraph-base!\" id=\"paragraph-e8a382\">COIMA is also one of the promoters of <strong>HabiTech, an accelerator for startups that develop services for the proptech sector<\/strong> through the application of technological and digital solutions aimed at real estate, launched by <strong>CDP Venture Capital SGR<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"leading-line-height-paragraph tracking-paragraph font-paragraph max-w-container-paragraph text-left text-paragraph-sm! md:text-paragraph-base!\" id=\"paragraph-e8a3be\">A total of \u20ac 5.75 million is available for investment in the accelerator and post-accelerator phase to help the growth of young companies specialized in high-potential markets. COIMA will make the District management platform implemented in the Porta Nuova district available and will <strong>host the HabiTech offices in this area<\/strong>. This will allow startups of being completely immersed in a real, live environment to test their prototypes which will accelerate the development and scale-up process, as a result of real-time feedback from the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"leading-line-height-paragraph tracking-paragraph font-paragraph max-w-container-paragraph text-left text-paragraph-sm! md:text-paragraph-base!\" id=\"paragraph-e8a3fa\">The COIMA ESG City Impact fund will help <strong>scale the best experiences gained in the Porta Nuova pilot project<\/strong> for other projects, starting with the Porta Romana district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"leading-line-height-paragraph tracking-paragraph font-paragraph max-w-container-paragraph text-left text-paragraph-sm! md:text-paragraph-base!\" id=\"paragraph-e8a434\"><strong><u>Regeneration of neighborhoods<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"leading-line-height-paragraph tracking-paragraph font-paragraph max-w-container-paragraph text-left text-paragraph-sm! md:text-paragraph-base!\" id=\"paragraph-e8a471\">Real Estate has an important role to play in combating climate change and promoting diversity in a meaningful way by integrating ESG principles by setting measurable objectives and communicating them transparently. <strong>Neighborhood-scale real estate redevelopments <\/strong>can effectively transform urban spaces provide services that promote inclusive communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"leading-line-height-paragraph tracking-paragraph font-paragraph max-w-container-paragraph text-left text-paragraph-sm! md:text-paragraph-base!\" id=\"paragraph-e8a4aa\">Among the main <strong>projects underway<\/strong>, the Group is active in Milan both in the Porta Romana railway yard, in partnership with Covivio and Prada Holding, and in the Valtellina area within the Scalo Farini, and in the extension project of Porta Nuova.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"leading-line-height-paragraph tracking-paragraph font-paragraph max-w-container-paragraph text-left text-paragraph-sm! md:text-paragraph-base!\" id=\"paragraph-e8a4e6\">By working on areas to be redeveloped, such as disused railway yards in Milan, it is possible to create new neighborhoods with affordable housing, spaces for education and health, or workspaces that promote innovation. These developments not only improve living standards, but also create jobs in both the construction and management phases, as well as generating economic development through increased tourism. ESG-compliant property design can play a crucial role in supporting <strong>long-term growth<\/strong>, not only by stimulating economies through investment, but also by supporting Europe&#8217;s global ESG initiatives to build a more sustainable economy in in line with the EU framework for the European Green Deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"leading-line-height-paragraph tracking-paragraph font-paragraph max-w-container-paragraph text-left text-paragraph-sm! md:text-paragraph-base!\" id=\"paragraph-e8a521\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/repository.ishare.media.s3.amazonaws.com\/clients\/23\/coima\/COIMA_live_20220714_4Mbps.mp4\" target=\"_blank\">Watch the video of the meeting<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1898,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","immagine_archivio":"1900","sottotitolo":"","card_title":"COIMA ESG City Impact  fund raises over 500 million euros from primary institutional investors","society":"coima","main_downloadable":"1901","display_sites":["com","sgr","rem"],"_ensoul_lang":"en","_ensoul_tr_group":"e3b9d2ca-613d-4f28-bf10-409b1addeaa1","pdf_url":"https:\/\/coima.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CS_COIMA_SGR_Fondo_CECIF_14_07_202_IT.pdf"},"press-society":[44],"press-year":[50],"tipo-comunicato":[16],"class_list":["post-1902","press_release","type-press_release","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","press_society-coima","press_year-50","tipo_comunicato-risultati-finanziari"],"acf":{"immagine_archivio":1900,"sottotitolo":"","card_title":"COIMA ESG City Impact  fund raises over 500 million euros from primary institutional investors","society":"coima","main_downloadable":1901,"downloadables":null,"display_sites":["com","sgr","rem"],"pdf_url":"https:\/\/coima.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/CS_COIMA_SGR_Fondo_CECIF_14_07_202_IT.pdf"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
